Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics

Overview

If your child has a developmental, learning or behavioral problem, Akron Children's Hospital specialists have the training and expertise to evaluate and care for your child. Each year we handle about 8,000 patient visits, including more than 1,200 new patients. We will work with you to understand your child’s diagnosis, as well as identify supports and resources to help your child reach his or her potential.

We have one focus: kids.

Our team includes developmental-behavioral pediatricians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers and patient service representatives. Together, we help you understand the cause of your child’s developmental or behavioral problem and advocate for resources that enrich the quality of life for your child and family.

We also work closely with other pediatric specialists as needed, such as child neurologists and psychologists, as well as with your child's schools, preschools and other agencies involved with developmental care and education.
